Morphometry and mixing regime of a tropical lake: Lake Nova (Southeastern Brazil) [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2016 Lake Nova (15.5 km2) is the second largest lake in the Lower Doce River Valley (Southeastern Brazil). A better understanding of ecosystem structure and functioning requires knowledge about lake morphometry, given that lake basin form influences water ...

Lake Kivu: Limnology and biogeochemistry of a tropical great lake [PDF]
, 2012 In the heart of Africa, a unique lake has attracted the attention of scientists since the beginning of the 20th century. At the foot of the Virunga volcano chain, Lake Kivu harbors a vast amount of dissolved carbon dioxide and methane, making it the most dangerous lake on Earth.

Benthic macroinvertebrates of a tropical lake: Lake Caçó, MA, Brazil [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2010 Benthic communities are highly relevant in the study of aquatic ecosystems, both for their role in the functioning of the ecosystem and also as markers or indicators of paleo-conditions. Their distribution, as in other communities, is conditioned by abiotic and biotic factors and to their interactions, which determine the structure of the community ...

Nitrogen is unlikely to consistently limit primary productivity in most tropical lakes
Ecosphere, 2023 Despite mounting evidence that tropical lakes may experience an array of phytoplankton nutrient limitation regimes, references to low‐latitude lakes being predominantly nitrogen limited remain common in the literature. To assess the current understanding

Deposition, burial and sequestration of carbon in an oligotrophic, tropical lake
Journal of Limnology, 2014 The amount of biogenic carbon that may be deposited, buried and eventually preserved (sequestered) in the sediments of a tropical, oligotrophic lake, was evaluated based on i) the temporal variation of the particulate organic carbon (POC) concentration ...
